The signature style of Naomi’s unique collection is utterly feminine
with soft swishing light silk skirts reminiscent of the golden Hollywood
era of Grace Kelly. The use of a subtle colour palette from vintage
ivory to hardly there blush pinks complimented by exquisite French lace
creates a delicate femininity.

Classic and light, Chloe's sculpted bodice and full silk chiffon skirt
embody all the beauty of Naomi's signature look. The French lace
detailing highlights the waist and sets off the handmade silk corsage.

Inspired by the Heroine of the costume drama, this slim line gown is
created from tiers of gently shimmering beaded lace. Complete with a
waist cinching corset this gown creates a svelte, elegant silhouette.

After a very busy Jenny Packham designer day this weekend with lots of very happy brides leaving having booked the Jenny Packham dress of their dreams (with a 10% discount - what could be better?!) you would think the last thing we would want to would be spend more time playing with the dresses but when the collection is as beautiful as the stunning new Jenny Packham 2013 collection we just couldn't help ourselves!!!....

All Downton Abbey
fans have been enthralled in the will they won't they
storyline between Lady Mary and Matthew and last night saw the
pair finally walk down the aisle!! The joyful and
uplifting union of the couple has been much anticipated, but
not as much as Lady Mary's dress... and she did not
disappoint! Yes, it's a modest affair but we couldn't fail to
notice the striking resemblance to the dress that Queen
Elizabeth The Queen Mother wore when she married King George
in 1923. It's a simple ivory column design with a satin sash
drawing in below the waist and sheer, long sleeves. It's
finished with a jewelled headband and a cathedral length veil.

Not only is it hugely representative of wedding dresses of that era,
there's certainly a trend among the aristocracy and royals for
covering up and preserving ones modesty as you walk down the aisle.
Even Kate Middleton opted for sheer, lace sleeves on her Alexander
McQueen gown just last year.

Demure dressing with a sense of glamour and femininity from a bygone
era is certainly something that is sweeping the bridal catwalks for
2013 and with the
release of the film The Great Gatsby - the romantic adaptation of
F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel in the New Year we are sure that
the bridal industry will be further influenced by this classic
era.

Carina
Baverstock Couture has a fabulous collection of gowns by designers such as Jessica Charleston, Jenny Packham, Ritva Westenius and Claire Pettibone who's dresses
evoke the 1920s, book an appointment today to create your own
vintage look!

Well, we thought nothing short of a miracle would get every single member of
our hard working team in on a Sunday morning, but it looks like the promise of
(brief!!) TV stardom is all it takes! : ) Yesterday morning we all
arrived at the boutique eager to greet brave bride-to-be Rebecca and the Don't
Tell the Bride crew. They all arrived and we enjoyed meeting Helen and
Paul the lovely camera/sound people as well as the bride's family and friends,
including her aunt, brother, cousin and chief bridesmaid.

The bride herself is Rebecca, a stunning girl with beautiful red hair and a
clear sense of style. This beautiful petite girl is a female wrestler, and
something of a trailblazer in the industry too by the sounds of it! She was
right up our street as we love a strong woman here at CBC!! Her fiancé
Mike is a professional wrestler too, and from what we heard he sounds like a
great guy. We found it very touching that Rebecca had every faith that he would
get everything right for the big day, even the dress! Clearly these two
are meant to be.

Rebecca tried on a few dresses with us and needless to say it was not long until
she found the dream dress. We can't let you in on which one it was though
as we wouldn't want to inadvertently provide the groom with any insider
information! Suffice it to say that she looked amazing and was a
little sad to say goodbye to her perfect gown.

The episode airs at the end of October so as soon as the cat is out of the
bag we will post our behind the scenes pictures.
